Pros

Company has no idea how to value talent or experience (and can't get anyone to stick around) so it’s likely you’ll get a desperate offer A lot of great people work here. There's a great camaraderie among the individual contributors which you develop from collectively experiencing the trauma of working for this company.

Cons

As others have noted, the company consistently requires new hires to write a glassdoor review within weeks of joining the company. Company prefers to hire from outside rather than promote from within, so in addition to not getting promoted, expect to see new execs constantly joining, getting up to speed and then leaving once they realize what a dumpster fire it is. It's an open secret that multiple executives are extremely abusive. Business model is based on people not realizing they've signed up for a subscription and then forgetting to cancel. Leadership actually compares the company to Facebook on a regular basis.

Pros

Work from home, great benefits, flexible PTO, competitive pay, bonus structure, 401k match.

Cons

A more Horizontal corporate structure than most other companies can leave you working more independently than most other companies. It's a global company so some of your partners may be on the other side of the planet. It's a very asynchronous company and some employees may struggle to adjust to the freedom and accountability.

Pros

The product managers were very helpful. They are the reason why Bold gets one star. Also, if you've been there for 4 years or more, you seem to like it.

Cons

I've never been so stressed in the first 30 days of a job. The senior manager gossiped about me and didn't have the knowledge to execute or to properly define expectations. I couldn't get feedback or clear expectations from the VP on down. It was like I was supposed to read minds. My advice is to run away.
